Definitions

  • This invention relates to the evolving science that blood type is a mirror of the genetic code with respect to the predisposition to disease. Evidence is mounting that indicates that this predisposition to disease can be overcome through diet and nutrition.
  • Blood is essential for life. It carries oxygen and nutrients to all parts of the body, and it carries carbon dioxide and other waste products back to the lungs, kidneys and liver for disposal.
  • Blood Type O is considered the original and oldest of all blood types. Years ago, animals were the main source of food. Therefore, blood type O got most of their nutrition from meat so that their diet was high in protein and low in carbohydrates. However, it was enriched with fruit and vegetables. Blood Type O's generally have higher stomach acid aiding in the digestion and metabolism of meats and most other foods. This is how our original ancestors were able to survive. People with blood type O are more prone to stomach ulcers and irritation of the stomach lining. They also have a greater resistance to blood clotting and have the thinnest blood of all blood types, as is generally known in the art. See generally, D'Adamo, P.— Eat Right For Your Type, G. P. Putman's Sons, 1996; D'Adamo, P.— Cook Right For Your Type, G. P. Putman's Sons.
  • blood type A The first mutation from blood type O was designated blood type A. This evolution took place because the original meat eaters migrated to areas where meat was less abundant. Thus, forcing our ancestors to survive on a diet rich in fruits and vegetables. Due to the change in diet and environment, persons with blood type A have very sensitive immune and digestive systems. These individuals normally generate lower levels of stomach acid.
  • Blood type B This evolved as our ancestors migrated across the many continents leading to a nomadic existence. Blood type B may have initially mutated in response to these changes in climate. People from this blood type generally have balanced immune systems and respond well to stress. They have the ability to tolerate a wide diversity of foods.
  • the last of the four major blood types is blood type AB. This evolved through the intermingling of type A and type B. People with this blood type have inherited the attributes of both blood type A and B. It is for this reason that their immune systems are much more complex than those of any other blood group.
  • Our immune system contains many antigens (substances which stimulate the production of antibodies against foreign invaders).
  • One of those antigens resides in our blood type.
  • Each blood type contains a different antigen.
  • the blood specific antigens are extremely important. All red blood cells contain an antigen specific for your blood type with the exception of blood type O which has no real antigenicity. This is because blood type O was the first blood type from which the others evolved.
  • the antigen of blood type O that protrudes from the surface of our red blood cells is made up of long chains which ends in fucose. This sugar, by itself, has no antigenicity.
  • the inventor discloses the formula sets that embody the invention of the food supplement compositions for Each Antigen Specific Blood Type that are useful in achieving and maintenance of a healthy status.
  • the use of blood specific nutrition through diet and herbs has gained acceptance in the scientific community as a holistic approach to the promotion of wellness and the achieving and maintaining of a healthy status.
  • Statistical studies of various diseases clearly demonstrate a predisposition based on blood type. See generally, Gillum, R. F., Blood groups, serum cholesterol, serum uric acid, blood pressure, and obesity in adolescents. J Natl Med Assoc 1991 August;83(8):682-8; Wong, F. L., Kodama, K., Sasak, i H., Yamada, M., Hamilton, H. B.

  • Vitamin C (as Ester-C) plays a major role in immunity and acts as an antioxidant, protecting against damage that may lead to heart disease or cancer (blood type AB risks). It may also lead reduce cholesterol levels by increasing the level of protective HDL cholesterol.
  • Hawthorn berry is a cardiovascular tonic. It dilates the blood vessels, which helps the blood flow through the arteries and lowers high blood pressure. The herb helps the heart pump more efficiently in people with congestive heart failure and it may help lower cholesterol levels. It may be beneficial to people with blood type AB and their risk of angina.
  • Siberian Ginseng has elements that stimulate the immune system, which is beneficial to the weakened immune system of a person with blood type AB.
  • the herb enhances the body's tolerance to disease, stress and fatigue. It is also useful for diabetes, a risk that may be associated with blood type AB.
  • Valerian root is officially approved as a sleep aid by medical authorities in European countries. The herb has been used for centuries for its calming qualities. That characteristic is beneficial to the blood type AB person since they tend to react inappropriately to stress. It has been found safe as a mild tranquilizer, is not addictive, and leaves no morning grogginess. Valerian root also helps relax the smooth muscle of the gastrointestinal tract, thereby improving the symptoms of some digestive disorders. It also helps improve circulation.
  • Quercetin dihydrate is powerful antioxidant. It helps strengthen cell membranes and stops free radicals from causing damage to the body. It may reduce the risk of heart disease, certain cancers, and it lowers cholesterol levels. This bioflavonoid is a good immune booster. It also acts as an antihistamine and has the ability to reduce inflammation.
  • Milk thistle seed extract is an antioxidant, protecting liver cells and preventing damage from free radicals. It may aid in the treatment and prevention of gallstones, a blood type AB risk, and may help reduce cholesterol levels.
  • Dandelion root acts as a diuretic and is useful for the blood type AB person who suffers from liver and digestive problems.
  • the herb cleanses the bloodstream and liver and increases the production of bile. It assists the pancreas and seems valuable in hypoglycemia and diabetic conditions. It is good for anemia, high cholesterol, and congestive heart failure, and may aid in the prevention of breast cancer.
  • Parsley leaf contains a substance that helps prevent the multiplication of tumor cells, and is used as a digestive aid. It is good for high blood pressure, asthma, congestive heart failure, and kidney disease.
  • Green tea leaf extract may lower the risk of cancer by neutralizing and protecting cells against mutation from cancer causing agents, and protecting against free radical damage.
  • the antioxidant effect of green tea may protect against cardiovascular diseases and it lowers cholesterol levels. It also helps fight mental fatigue and promotes longevity.
  • St. John's Wort acts as a natural antidepressant and may have pain-relieving effects. The herb helps fight bacteria and viruses as well as boosting the immune system.
  • Nettle leaf extract has many beneficial uses. As a dietary food, the leaves taste like spinach. They are particularly high in iron and other minerals and are rich in carotenoids and Vitamin C. It may help to relieve inflamed joints, and it also has diuretic and antihistamine properties. Nettle also helps against urinary tract infections by promoting urination, which flushes infection-causing bacteria out of the body. In some cases, it has been shown to help lower high blood pressure if caused by excess fluid in the body. However, it should only be used for this condition under the supervision of a doctor. Finally, nettle may be useful for men with enlarged prostates that are not caused by cancer by slowing prostate growth.

  • Vitamin A is fat soluble, so that means that your body can store it, in the liver. Its most prominent benefit is to the retina of the eye. That's why it helps fight night blindness and helps the retina adjust to light and dark stimuli. In addition, it maintains the skin and cells that line the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts. Also, it helps build teeth and bones, and is vital for normal reproduction, growth and development. Vitamin A has also been shown to be crucial to the immune system, including the immune cells lining the digestive tract, ultimately forming an important defense against diseases. By strengthening the immune system, it increases resistance to infections, including colds, sore throats, flu, bronchitis, warts, eye infections, cold sores and shingles, and vaginal yeast infections. It is said that Vitamin A might also help the fight against certain cancers and enhance the effectiveness of chemotherapy.
  • Vitamin C has many uses, mostly as an immune booster. For one, it strengthens capillaries and cell walls, and aids in the formation of collagen. This, in turn, prevents bruising, promotes healing, and keeps ligaments, tendons, and gums strong and healthy. It is also a strong antioxidant, and so it offers protection against cancer and heart disease. Furthermore, Vitamin C helps against cataracts. But perhaps the most well known use of this vitamin is its ability to shorten the duration of the cold itself.
  • Vitamin D is sometimes called the “sunshine vitamin” because limited exposure to the sun's UV rays invokes the production of it in the body. Its primary function is to help the body efficiently absorb calcium and phosphorous, thus helping prevent osteoporosis.
  • Vitamin E is yet another fat-soluble vitamin. Its basic function is to protect cell membranes. Because it acts as an antioxidant, it prevents heart disease, cancer and has been shown to lower LDL (“bad”) cholesterol levels. In addition, it helps the body to use Selenium and Vitamin K more efficiently.
  • Thiamin (a.k.a. Vitamin B1) is a B-complex vitamin. It is essential in the conversion of carbohydrates into energy. It also plays a key role in promoting healthy nerves, thus significantly reducing numbness and tingling of the hands and feet, and may be useful in treating certain types of heart disease, such as congestive heart failure, by improving the pumping power of the heart.
  • Riboflavin is yet another B-complex vitamin, B2. Its primary roles are in converting proteins, fats, and carbohydrates from foods into substance forms the body can use. In addition, it plays a vital role in the production of the thyroid hormone. It also aids the body in producing infection-fighting immune cells and works with other nutrients to produce healthy, new red blood cells. In addition, it converts Vitamin B6 and niacin into active forms so they can carry out their functions in the body.
  • Niacin a.k.a. Vitamin B3
  • Niacin is necessary in many functions of the body. For instance, it helps to release the energy from carbohydrates, control blood sugar levels, keep skin healthy, and maintain proper functioning of the nervous and digestive systems. In high enough doses, it helps to lower LDL (“bad”) cholesterol and raise HDL (“good”) cholesterol levels.
  • Vitamin B6 aids in performing numerous tasks in the body, such as forming red blood cells, making proteins, manufacturing brain chemicals such as Serotonin, maintaining nerve health, and releasing stored forms of energy. Acting as a coenzyme, this vitamin may also play a role against fighting diseases. For instance, working with folic acid, it helps to combat heart disease. Additionally, it helps to alleviate some PMS symptoms by clearing away excess levels of estrogen from the body. By acting as a building block for neurotransmitters, Vitamin B6 may prevent against epileptic seizures and perhaps even lift depression.
  • Folate most often called folic acid, is vital for every function in the body that requires cell division (i.e. make blood cells, heal wounds, and build muscle). It is also necessary for the formation of DNA and RNA, assuring that the cells duplicate normally, and it produces key chemicals for the brain and nervous system. But above all, it regulates the production and existing levels of homocysteine, an amino acid that high levels of could leave the body susceptible to plague build-up in the arteries, as well as other diseases.
  • Vitamin B12 a.k.a. cobalamin
  • B12 is the only B vitamin that the body stores in large amounts, in the liver.
  • B12 is important for cell replication and especially important for red blood cell production. It forms a protective layer around nerves, aids in the food conversion process, and assists in the production of DNA and RNA.
  • Biotin helps the body use glucose more efficiently, as well as strengthening hair and nails. Additionally, because of its positive effect on blood sugar levels and the way the body responds to insulin, it has also proven to be beneficial for diabetics.
  • Pantothenic Acid or Vitamin B5
  • Vitamin B5 is also involved in the breakdown of nutrients from food into forms the body can use.
  • it is sometimes referred to as the “anti stress vitamin” because it plays a key role in the regulation of stress hormones. As a result, it helps in quitting smoking, migraines, and chronic fatigue syndrome. Additionally, Pantothenic Acid is useful for heartburn and helps reduce nasal congestion due to allergies.
  • Iodine is an essential mineral most useful for regulation of the Thyroid gland. This is vital because thyroid hormones regulate normal growth and development and metabolism in all body cells. In addition, it may assist in the treatment of fibrocystic breasts.
  • Magnesium is involved in many important bodily functions. These include energy production, muscle relaxation, and bone and tooth formulation. It also helps to protect against heart disease and irregular heartbeats (arrhythmia), eases fibromyalgia symptoms, lowers high blood pressure, improves some PMS symptoms, and aids in preventing complications of diabetes.
  • Zinc is an essential mineral that is vital to the human body. It plays many roles, aiding in various processes, including boosting the immune system and helping the body fight colds and flu. Zinc helps cell growth, sexual maturity, skin maladies, and digestive ailments. In addition, it helps to treat a vast range of chronic illnesses, including rheumatoid arthritis, under active thyroid, fibromyalgia, and osteoporosis. It has been suggested that it may boost fertility, strengthen hair, and abate Tinnitus (constant ringing in the ears). Finally, it has been referred to as a healing mineral; wounds have been proven to heal faster when there is an adequate level of Zinc in the body.
  • Selenium's main attribute is that it acts an antioxidant. Playing this role, it works with other vitamins to help protect against heart disease and cancer, especially cancers of the ovaries, cervix, rectum, bladder, esophagus, pancreas, and liver, as well as against leukemia. It protects the heart by making the blood less adhesive to artery walls, thus less likely to clot. Selenium protects against cataracts and macular degeneration. Furthermore, it combats viral infections, reduces the severity of cold sores and shingles, relieves lupus symptoms, and may help decelerate the progression of HIV into full-blown AIDS.
  • Manganese is considered to be a trace mineral that plays a role in the metabolism of fat and protein. In this way, it is used in the nutrient conversion process. Additionally, it is an essential tool for a strong immune system, healthy nerves, normal bone growth, the regulation of blood sugar levels, and for reproduction.
  • Chromium is also a trace mineral. This means that the body needs it, though not in significant amounts. Chromium helps the body use insulin efficiently, and so is helpful for diabetics. It is also essential for the breakdown of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. Additional suggested uses of this mineral are that it may help lower LDL levels of cholesterol and aid in weight loss.
  • Molybdenum basically serves as a coenzyme. It assists in the formation of bones and other tissues, in growth and development, the composition of DNA, and in burning fats and carbohydrates. But its primary role is that it helps the body use its stores of iron more efficiently.
  • Potassium is an essential mineral that is also an electrolyte. This means that it takes on a positive or negative charge when mixed in the bloodstream medium. Because of this particular characteristic, Potassium is useful for the regulation of fluid balance between cells, the normal behavior of nerve transmissions, of blood pressure and of heartbeats. Also, it plays a role in converting glucose into glycogen (a stored form of energy).
  • Boron is considered to be a trace mineral, but it plays an important role in building strong teeth, bones and nails. It may prevent calcium loss and triggers the production of estrogen, thus making bones stronger. It is useful in the metabolism of other nutrients such as calcium, magnesium, and phosphorous. The mineral has been proven to help maintain proper brain function and heightens perceptiveness. However, Boron is best for older people because of its aid against osteoporosis.
  • Vanadium is an ultra-trace mineral that is needed for cellular metabolism and for the formation of bones and teeth. It plays a role in growth and reproduction, and inhibits cholesterol synthesis.
  • Octacosanol is a nutrient that is extracted from wheat germ. It has been proven to increase oxygen utilization during exercise and improve glycogen storage in muscle. As a result, it increases physical endurance, improves reaction time, reduces high-altitude stress, and aids in tissue oxygenation. This substance can greatly benefit those who have a lowered endurance level, and is good for muscular dystrophies and other neuromuscular disorders. It also reduces blood cholesterol levels.
  • PHENALGIN is a nutrient composed of phlorotannin extract from Canary Island algae. It serves as an antioxidant, cleaning up roaming free radicals and thus protecting against ailments such as heart disease and cancer.
  • Alpha-lipoic acid acts as a coenzyme to the B-complex vitamins, assisting them in the metabolism of nutrients like fats, carbohydrates and proteins, and helping them to store these until they are needed for energy. It is also a cell protector, acting as an antioxidant, as well as a catalyst in recycling other antioxidants, such as Vitamins C and E. In this way, it helps to increase their potencies. Its primary usage is to protect against nerve damage, including diabetic neuropathy. Furthermore, it helps to fortify the liver, protecting it against decrepitude from hepatitis, alcohol abuse, or exposure to poisonous or toxic chemicals. In addition, it aids in the prevention of cataracts.
  • Plant derived enzyme delivery system is a protein-digesting enzyme extracted from pineapples. It is most often used as an anti-inflammatory in the following cases: back pain, Carpel Tunnelitis, chronic pain, cuts and scrapes, gout pain, insect bites and stings, muscle aches and pains, rheumatoid arthritis, and general sprains and strains. Used with the herb tumeric, it enhances its absorption, which helps block the reproduction of HIV cells. In addition, it also serves as an anticoagulant, intensifying the thinning effect of blood.
  • Papain is a nutrient extracted from papaya. It serves the primary function of a digestive aid. However, its historical uses include the treatment of: infected wounds, sores, ulcers, chronic diarrhea, tumors, hay fever, esophageal obstruction due to meat impaction, catarrh, and psoriasis. Additional uses for this proteolitic enzyme is to reduce edema and inflammation associated with surgical or accidental trauma, infections, or allergies.

Abstract

Dietary supplement compositions designed to be responsive to specific blood types, and thus most beneficial for people with specific antigenic blood types.

Description

  • This application is a continuation of Ser. No. 09/468,819, now U.S. Pat. No. ______.[0001]
    • BACKGROUND
  • The prior art regarding this invention arises from distinct areas not heretofore combined to create new and useful formula sets or new and useful improvements thereof regarding Dietary Supplements for Each Antigen Specific Blood Type. [0002]
  • This invention relates to the evolving science that blood type is a mirror of the genetic code with respect to the predisposition to disease. Evidence is mounting that indicates that this predisposition to disease can be overcome through diet and nutrition. [0003]
  • Albert M. Fleischner, Ph.D., has a doctorate in Pharmaceutical Chemistry from Rutgers University and has had over thirty years experience in the pharmaceutical industry with firms such as Schering-Plough Corporation, Roberts Pharmaceutical Corporation, Lehn & Fink Division of Sterling Drugs, Bradley Pharmaceutical Corporation, Amerchol Division of CPC and the Goen Group companies. He has a number of published papers and a previously granted patent. [0004]
  • Blood is essential for life. It carries oxygen and nutrients to all parts of the body, and it carries carbon dioxide and other waste products back to the lungs, kidneys and liver for disposal. [0005]
  • Anthropologists have speculated that the blood types evolved due to changes in diet, culture and different environmental factors. Each blood type manifests certain particular attributes, which are characterized by strengths and weaknesses. One of the most important components, which helped determine the evolution of blood type, was what foods were available as mankind evolved. [0006]
  • Blood Type O is considered the original and oldest of all blood types. Years ago, animals were the main source of food. Therefore, blood type O got most of their nutrition from meat so that their diet was high in protein and low in carbohydrates. However, it was enriched with fruit and vegetables. Blood Type O's generally have higher stomach acid aiding in the digestion and metabolism of meats and most other foods. This is how our original ancestors were able to survive. People with blood type O are more prone to stomach ulcers and irritation of the stomach lining. They also have a greater resistance to blood clotting and have the thinnest blood of all blood types, as is generally known in the art. See generally, D'Adamo, P.—[0007] Eat Right For Your Type, G. P. Putman's Sons, 1996; D'Adamo, P.—Cook Right For Your Type, G. P. Putman's Sons.
  • The first mutation from blood type O was designated blood type A. This evolution took place because the original meat eaters migrated to areas where meat was less abundant. Thus, forcing our ancestors to survive on a diet rich in fruits and vegetables. Due to the change in diet and environment, persons with blood type A have very sensitive immune and digestive systems. These individuals normally generate lower levels of stomach acid. [0008]
  • The second mutation was designated blood type B. This evolved as our ancestors migrated across the many continents leading to a nomadic existence. Blood type B may have initially mutated in response to these changes in climate. People from this blood type generally have balanced immune systems and respond well to stress. They have the ability to tolerate a wide diversity of foods. [0009]
  • The last of the four major blood types is blood type AB. This evolved through the intermingling of type A and type B. People with this blood type have inherited the attributes of both blood type A and B. It is for this reason that their immune systems are much more complex than those of any other blood group. [0010]
  • The underlying differences, which characterize each known blood group, are as follows: [0011]
    Blood Type Blood Type Blood Type Blood Type
    O A B AB
    red red red red
    blood blood blood blood
    cell cell cell cell
    | | | ∥
    □ A B AB
    (antigen)□ (antigen)□ (antigen)
  • Our immune system contains many antigens (substances which stimulate the production of antibodies against foreign invaders). One of those antigens resides in our blood type. Each blood type contains a different antigen. The blood specific antigens are extremely important. All red blood cells contain an antigen specific for your blood type with the exception of blood type O which has no real antigenicity. This is because blood type O was the first blood type from which the others evolved. The antigen of blood type O that protrudes from the surface of our red blood cells is made up of long chains which ends in fucose. This sugar, by itself, has no antigenicity. [0012]
    • SUMMARY
  • The inventor discloses the formula sets that embody the invention of the food supplement compositions for Each Antigen Specific Blood Type that are useful in achieving and maintenance of a healthy status. The use of blood specific nutrition through diet and herbs has gained acceptance in the scientific community as a holistic approach to the promotion of wellness and the achieving and maintaining of a healthy status.

  • The scientific rationale for each formulation is as follows: Vitamin C (as Ester-C) plays a major role in immunity and acts as an antioxidant, protecting against damage that may lead to heart disease or cancer (blood type AB risks). It may also lead reduce cholesterol levels by increasing the level of protective HDL cholesterol. [0083]
  • Hawthorn berry is a cardiovascular tonic. It dilates the blood vessels, which helps the blood flow through the arteries and lowers high blood pressure. The herb helps the heart pump more efficiently in people with congestive heart failure and it may help lower cholesterol levels. It may be beneficial to people with blood type AB and their risk of angina. [0084]
  • Siberian Ginseng has elements that stimulate the immune system, which is beneficial to the weakened immune system of a person with blood type AB. The herb enhances the body's tolerance to disease, stress and fatigue. It is also useful for diabetes, a risk that may be associated with blood type AB. [0085]
  • Valerian root is officially approved as a sleep aid by medical authorities in European countries. The herb has been used for centuries for its calming qualities. That characteristic is beneficial to the blood type AB person since they tend to react inappropriately to stress. It has been found safe as a mild tranquilizer, is not addictive, and leaves no morning grogginess. Valerian root also helps relax the smooth muscle of the gastrointestinal tract, thereby improving the symptoms of some digestive disorders. It also helps improve circulation. [0086]
  • Quercetin dihydrate is powerful antioxidant. It helps strengthen cell membranes and stops free radicals from causing damage to the body. It may reduce the risk of heart disease, certain cancers, and it lowers cholesterol levels. This bioflavonoid is a good immune booster. It also acts as an antihistamine and has the ability to reduce inflammation. [0087]
  • Milk thistle seed extract is an antioxidant, protecting liver cells and preventing damage from free radicals. It may aid in the treatment and prevention of gallstones, a blood type AB risk, and may help reduce cholesterol levels. [0088]
  • Dandelion root acts as a diuretic and is useful for the blood type AB person who suffers from liver and digestive problems. The herb cleanses the bloodstream and liver and increases the production of bile. It assists the pancreas and seems valuable in hypoglycemia and diabetic conditions. It is good for anemia, high cholesterol, and congestive heart failure, and may aid in the prevention of breast cancer. [0089]
  • Parsley leaf contains a substance that helps prevent the multiplication of tumor cells, and is used as a digestive aid. It is good for high blood pressure, asthma, congestive heart failure, and kidney disease. [0090]
  • Green tea leaf extract may lower the risk of cancer by neutralizing and protecting cells against mutation from cancer causing agents, and protecting against free radical damage. The antioxidant effect of green tea may protect against cardiovascular diseases and it lowers cholesterol levels. It also helps fight mental fatigue and promotes longevity. [0091]
  • St. John's Wort acts as a natural antidepressant and may have pain-relieving effects. The herb helps fight bacteria and viruses as well as boosting the immune system. [0092]
  • Nettle leaf extract has many beneficial uses. As a dietary food, the leaves taste like spinach. They are particularly high in iron and other minerals and are rich in carotenoids and Vitamin C. It may help to relieve inflamed joints, and it also has diuretic and antihistamine properties. Nettle also helps against urinary tract infections by promoting urination, which flushes infection-causing bacteria out of the body. In some cases, it has been shown to help lower high blood pressure if caused by excess fluid in the body. However, it should only be used for this condition under the supervision of a doctor. Finally, nettle may be useful for men with enlarged prostates that are not caused by cancer by slowing prostate growth. [0093]

  • The scientific rationale for the formulation is as follows: [0096]
  • Vitamin A is fat soluble, so that means that your body can store it, in the liver. Its most prominent benefit is to the retina of the eye. That's why it helps fight night blindness and helps the retina adjust to light and dark stimuli. In addition, it maintains the skin and cells that line the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts. Also, it helps build teeth and bones, and is vital for normal reproduction, growth and development. Vitamin A has also been shown to be crucial to the immune system, including the immune cells lining the digestive tract, ultimately forming an important defense against diseases. By strengthening the immune system, it increases resistance to infections, including colds, sore throats, flu, bronchitis, warts, eye infections, cold sores and shingles, and vaginal yeast infections. It is said that Vitamin A might also help the fight against certain cancers and enhance the effectiveness of chemotherapy. [0097]
  • Vitamin C has many uses, mostly as an immune booster. For one, it strengthens capillaries and cell walls, and aids in the formation of collagen. This, in turn, prevents bruising, promotes healing, and keeps ligaments, tendons, and gums strong and healthy. It is also a strong antioxidant, and so it offers protection against cancer and heart disease. Furthermore, Vitamin C helps against cataracts. But perhaps the most well known use of this vitamin is its ability to shorten the duration of the cold itself. [0098]
  • Vitamin D is sometimes called the “sunshine vitamin” because limited exposure to the sun's UV rays invokes the production of it in the body. Its primary function is to help the body efficiently absorb calcium and phosphorous, thus helping prevent osteoporosis. [0099]
  • Vitamin E is yet another fat-soluble vitamin. Its basic function is to protect cell membranes. Because it acts as an antioxidant, it prevents heart disease, cancer and has been shown to lower LDL (“bad”) cholesterol levels. In addition, it helps the body to use Selenium and Vitamin K more efficiently. [0100]
  • Thiamin (a.k.a. Vitamin B1) is a B-complex vitamin. It is essential in the conversion of carbohydrates into energy. It also plays a key role in promoting healthy nerves, thus significantly reducing numbness and tingling of the hands and feet, and may be useful in treating certain types of heart disease, such as congestive heart failure, by improving the pumping power of the heart. [0101]
  • Riboflavin is yet another B-complex vitamin, B2. Its primary roles are in converting proteins, fats, and carbohydrates from foods into substance forms the body can use. In addition, it plays a vital role in the production of the thyroid hormone. It also aids the body in producing infection-fighting immune cells and works with other nutrients to produce healthy, new red blood cells. In addition, it converts Vitamin B6 and niacin into active forms so they can carry out their functions in the body. [0102]
  • Niacin, a.k.a. Vitamin B3, is necessary in many functions of the body. For instance, it helps to release the energy from carbohydrates, control blood sugar levels, keep skin healthy, and maintain proper functioning of the nervous and digestive systems. In high enough doses, it helps to lower LDL (“bad”) cholesterol and raise HDL (“good”) cholesterol levels. [0103]
  • Vitamin B6 aids in performing numerous tasks in the body, such as forming red blood cells, making proteins, manufacturing brain chemicals such as Serotonin, maintaining nerve health, and releasing stored forms of energy. Acting as a coenzyme, this vitamin may also play a role against fighting diseases. For instance, working with folic acid, it helps to combat heart disease. Additionally, it helps to alleviate some PMS symptoms by clearing away excess levels of estrogen from the body. By acting as a building block for neurotransmitters, Vitamin B6 may prevent against epileptic seizures and perhaps even lift depression. [0104]
  • Folate, most often called folic acid, is vital for every function in the body that requires cell division (i.e. make blood cells, heal wounds, and build muscle). It is also necessary for the formation of DNA and RNA, assuring that the cells duplicate normally, and it produces key chemicals for the brain and nervous system. But above all, it regulates the production and existing levels of homocysteine, an amino acid that high levels of could leave the body susceptible to plague build-up in the arteries, as well as other diseases. [0105]
  • Vitamin B12, a.k.a. cobalamin, is the only B vitamin that the body stores in large amounts, in the liver. B12 is important for cell replication and especially important for red blood cell production. It forms a protective layer around nerves, aids in the food conversion process, and assists in the production of DNA and RNA. [0106]
  • Biotin helps the body use glucose more efficiently, as well as strengthening hair and nails. Additionally, because of its positive effect on blood sugar levels and the way the body responds to insulin, it has also proven to be beneficial for diabetics. [0107]
  • Pantothenic Acid, or Vitamin B5, is also involved in the breakdown of nutrients from food into forms the body can use. In addition, it is sometimes referred to as the “anti stress vitamin” because it plays a key role in the regulation of stress hormones. As a result, it helps in quitting smoking, migraines, and chronic fatigue syndrome. Additionally, Pantothenic Acid is useful for heartburn and helps reduce nasal congestion due to allergies. [0108]
  • Iodine is an essential mineral most useful for regulation of the Thyroid gland. This is vital because thyroid hormones regulate normal growth and development and metabolism in all body cells. In addition, it may assist in the treatment of fibrocystic breasts. [0109]
  • Magnesium is involved in many important bodily functions. These include energy production, muscle relaxation, and bone and tooth formulation. It also helps to protect against heart disease and irregular heartbeats (arrhythmia), eases fibromyalgia symptoms, lowers high blood pressure, improves some PMS symptoms, and aids in preventing complications of diabetes. [0110]
  • Zinc is an essential mineral that is vital to the human body. It plays many roles, aiding in various processes, including boosting the immune system and helping the body fight colds and flu. Zinc helps cell growth, sexual maturity, skin maladies, and digestive ailments. In addition, it helps to treat a vast range of chronic illnesses, including rheumatoid arthritis, under active thyroid, fibromyalgia, and osteoporosis. It has been suggested that it may boost fertility, strengthen hair, and abate Tinnitus (constant ringing in the ears). Finally, it has been referred to as a healing mineral; wounds have been proven to heal faster when there is an adequate level of Zinc in the body. [0111]
  • Selenium's main attribute is that it acts an antioxidant. Playing this role, it works with other vitamins to help protect against heart disease and cancer, especially cancers of the ovaries, cervix, rectum, bladder, esophagus, pancreas, and liver, as well as against leukemia. It protects the heart by making the blood less adhesive to artery walls, thus less likely to clot. Selenium protects against cataracts and macular degeneration. Furthermore, it combats viral infections, reduces the severity of cold sores and shingles, relieves lupus symptoms, and may help decelerate the progression of HIV into full-blown AIDS. [0112]
  • Copper plays a fundamental role in strengthening blood vessels, bones, tendons, and nerves. It helps to maintain fertility ensures healthy hair and skin pigmentation and promotes normal blood clotting. In addition, it helps prevent high blood pressure and arrhythmia, acts as an antioxidant, protecting against cancer, and is necessary for the production of many enzymes. Lack of Copper can lead to diarrhea, thyroid problems, stunted growth, mental and emotional problems, and high cholesterol. [0113]
  • Manganese is considered to be a trace mineral that plays a role in the metabolism of fat and protein. In this way, it is used in the nutrient conversion process. Additionally, it is an essential tool for a strong immune system, healthy nerves, normal bone growth, the regulation of blood sugar levels, and for reproduction. [0114]
  • Chromium is also a trace mineral. This means that the body needs it, though not in significant amounts. Chromium helps the body use insulin efficiently, and so is helpful for diabetics. It is also essential for the breakdown of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. Additional suggested uses of this mineral are that it may help lower LDL levels of cholesterol and aid in weight loss. [0115]
  • Molybdenum basically serves as a coenzyme. It assists in the formation of bones and other tissues, in growth and development, the composition of DNA, and in burning fats and carbohydrates. But its primary role is that it helps the body use its stores of iron more efficiently. [0116]
  • Chloride in the body attracts extra cellular fluid. In addition, it helps form hydrochloric acid in the stomach. HCl is also used to aid the immune system's white cells battle foreign invaders. In addition, proper nerve function also relies on chloride. [0117]
  • Potassium is an essential mineral that is also an electrolyte. This means that it takes on a positive or negative charge when mixed in the bloodstream medium. Because of this particular characteristic, Potassium is useful for the regulation of fluid balance between cells, the normal behavior of nerve transmissions, of blood pressure and of heartbeats. Also, it plays a role in converting glucose into glycogen (a stored form of energy). [0118]
  • Boron is considered to be a trace mineral, but it plays an important role in building strong teeth, bones and nails. It may prevent calcium loss and triggers the production of estrogen, thus making bones stronger. It is useful in the metabolism of other nutrients such as calcium, magnesium, and phosphorous. The mineral has been proven to help maintain proper brain function and heightens perceptiveness. However, Boron is best for older people because of its aid against osteoporosis. [0119]
  • Vanadium is an ultra-trace mineral that is needed for cellular metabolism and for the formation of bones and teeth. It plays a role in growth and reproduction, and inhibits cholesterol synthesis. [0120]
  • Octacosanol is a nutrient that is extracted from wheat germ. It has been proven to increase oxygen utilization during exercise and improve glycogen storage in muscle. As a result, it increases physical endurance, improves reaction time, reduces high-altitude stress, and aids in tissue oxygenation. This substance can greatly benefit those who have a lowered endurance level, and is good for muscular dystrophies and other neuromuscular disorders. It also reduces blood cholesterol levels. [0121]
  • PHENALGIN (TM) is a nutrient composed of phlorotannin extract from Canary Island algae. It serves as an antioxidant, cleaning up roaming free radicals and thus protecting against ailments such as heart disease and cancer. [0122]
  • Alpha-lipoic acid acts as a coenzyme to the B-complex vitamins, assisting them in the metabolism of nutrients like fats, carbohydrates and proteins, and helping them to store these until they are needed for energy. It is also a cell protector, acting as an antioxidant, as well as a catalyst in recycling other antioxidants, such as Vitamins C and E. In this way, it helps to increase their potencies. Its primary usage is to protect against nerve damage, including diabetic neuropathy. Furthermore, it helps to fortify the liver, protecting it against decrepitude from hepatitis, alcohol abuse, or exposure to poisonous or toxic chemicals. In addition, it aids in the prevention of cataracts. [0123]
  • Plant derived enzyme delivery system—Bromelain is a protein-digesting enzyme extracted from pineapples. It is most often used as an anti-inflammatory in the following cases: back pain, Carpel Tunnelitis, chronic pain, cuts and scrapes, gout pain, insect bites and stings, muscle aches and pains, rheumatoid arthritis, and general sprains and strains. Used with the herb tumeric, it enhances its absorption, which helps block the reproduction of HIV cells. In addition, it also serves as an anticoagulant, intensifying the thinning effect of blood. [0124]
  • Papain is a nutrient extracted from papaya. It serves the primary function of a digestive aid. However, its historical uses include the treatment of: infected wounds, sores, ulcers, chronic diarrhea, tumors, hay fever, esophageal obstruction due to meat impaction, catarrh, and psoriasis. Additional uses for this proteolitic enzyme is to reduce edema and inflammation associated with surgical or accidental trauma, infections, or allergies. [0125]
